The natural suture patterning is very delicate in this example and gives a marvellous contrast against the honey calcite colouration. The sutures frilly cream outlines also appear to give light and shading to the faces of the polished ammonite. A desirable Cleoniceras fossil ammonite from a classic fossil bed in Madagascar.

Both the Ammonites and Nautili evolved from cephalopod beginnings in the Cambrian period. The Ammonoid group eventually dominating the prehistoric marine environment, being free swimmers above the seabed, before the arrival of vertebrate fishes to the marine scene. Nautiloids having early success were later in the Cretaceous period seemingly in decline. The mass Cretaceous extinction, the KT boundary event, which is the marker for the extinction of dinosaurs and many other life forms gave the tenacious Nautili a chance to regain a secure foothold under the oceans as the only surviving Ammonoid.

Exceptional quality Cleoniceras ammonite on a bronze plinth to museum standard. Post preparation now revealing the wonders of mineralisation, The absorption of the local environment’s mineral wealth, through a process of osmosis minerals transform the interior of the phragmocone (shell), when crystal's form through the action of imbuing, leaving mineral deposits, this enables the quartz in this instance to form and grow filling the chamber cavities. The process unfolds over a long period, eventually fossilising in millions of years during the metamorphism of the animal into a fossil. Read the full story below...
